How to Verify That All Devices Are Configured and Implement the Changes

  1. Use the cfgadm command to list the devices that are included in the SAM-QFS environment.

    For example:

    # cfgadm -al
    Ap_Id                          Type         Receptacle   Occupant     Condition
    c0                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
    c0::dsk/c0t6d0                 CD-ROM       connected    configured   unknown
    c1                             fc-private   connected    configured   unknown
    c1::500000e0103c3a91           disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c2                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
    c3                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
    c4                             scsi-bus     connected    configured   unknown
    c4::dsk/c4t1d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c4::dsk/c4t2d0                 disk         connected    configured   unknown
    c5                             fc-fabric    connected    configured   unknown
    c5::100000e00222ba0b           disk         connected    unconfigured unknown
    c5::210000e08b0462e6           unknown      connected    unconfigured unknown
    c5::210100e08b2466e6           unknown      connected    unconfigured unknown
    c5::210100e08b27234f           unknown      connected    unconfigured unknown
    c5::500104f00043abfc           tape         connected    configured   unknown
    c5::500104f00043bc94           tape         connected    configured   unknown
    c5::500104f00045eeaf           tape         connected    configured   unknown
    c5::500104f000466943           tape         connected    configured   unknown
    c5::500104f00046b3d4           tape         connected    configured   unknown
    c5::500104f0004738eb           tape         connected    configured   unknown
    c6                             fc           connected    unconfigured unknown
    c7                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
    c8                             scsi-bus     connected    unconfigured unknown
    usb0/1                         usb-kbd      connected    configured   ok
    usb0/2                         usb-mouse    connected    configured   ok
    usb0/3                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
    usb0/4                         unknown      empty        unconfigured ok
  2. Examine the output to ensure that it shows all the devices you want configured in your SAM-QFS environment.

    If a device is not configured, use the cfgadm command to configure it. See the cfgadm(1M) man page.

    You might receive an error similar to the following:

    # cfgadm -c configure -o force_update c4::500104f000489fe3
    cfgadm: Library error: failed to create device node: 500104f00043abfc: Device busy

    Despite this error, the cfgadm command does process the request.

  3. Reboot the system to have the changes you have made to the st.conf and samst.conf files take effect.
    # reboot -- -r
